Blog Reflection Week 5.

This week we have been finishing off group work like our focus group and final treatments. From our feedback we had learnt a lot about what our audience wants and is expecting to see in our video from hearing the song. We gathered our ideas together and put them into our final treatment so we understand ourselves what we are heading for in terms of our video, magazine and digipak. We have again been looking at similar artists that are within our genre and would suit our idea for our video, these are some videos that we looked at:

This video really gave us some ideas as the whole greenery area is what we are heading for so some of the shots towards the beginning gave use some ideas. This we used to help us create shots for our shot list and what we could be considering to film in our own.

Another video was James Morrison's video as he had some shots with him and his guitar that we could follow and try to create into our own. The shot you can see below was something we also wanted to show as it was interesting shot that could go with our song having a guitar as one of our main instruments. Another of Ben Howard's videos called 'Only Love' also had really interesting shots that we could take into account. Mostly they were shots focusing on things that we wouldn't focus on all the time like birds, branches or even other little things. This sort of aspect follows our song and also the lyrics and can be useful when interpreting our song right for our audience.
